"Online" as a Venue in the Calendar

[Felix Nunn]

I would like to add events with "Online" as the event venue (e.g. an Online-Conference), but in the Calendar I have to enter an address.

What's the solution to this?

The next version of events has dedicated support for online events. When creating the event you can toggle between online and physical address.

The new update looks like it will definitely add something like this @Felix Nunn, however until I can get to use it fully, our primary purpose of events will always be online places, so I will want that as the primary feature and physical ones a second thought - is that a toggle @Andy Millne?

 

Until then, you can create pre-defined Venues in the AdminCP - Community > Calendar > Venues. These don't need physical addresses, just a country to be populated (which you don't see on the front end anyway). Thats how i've done it so people can just select what online thing they use - its important to me as ours is a gaming family so needs to be specific to what platform they use rather than what system they use to communicate like Zoom, Teams, etc.

Hi @Andy Millne

what's with hybrid events - if an event takes place on physical address and is also broadcasted?

Please post that up within our suggestions area, which would be a better place for it to be seen 🙂
